He helped the side earn promotion back to Ligue 1 in the 2012/13 season with eight goals in 17 Ligue 2 appearances in the second-half of that season.

He has not seen as much playing time since the club earned promotion and has only made six first-team appearances this season so the chance to move to MLS as the Philadelphia Union’s main striker will be an exciting challenge for Aristeguieta.

The young Venezuelan forward has represented his country 13 times, scoring once and has been a teammate of US international midfielder Alejandro Bedoya at Nantes for the past 18 months.
